Abstract
In heterogeneous wireless networks, coordinated multipoint technology facilitates coordination and mutual cooperation among various types of networks and applications. The resource requirements of various applications differ considerably under the constraint of limited resources so that the allowable delay is considered. This study considered a centralized management scheme involving fourth-generation (4G) mobile networks Evolved Node B, access points, and back-end coordinated servers. The operator controls the flow and performs routing selection procedures through long-term evolution advanced and Wi-Fi in accordance with the 5G wireless networks. The problem was constructed as a mathematical programming model. A Lagrangian relaxation (LR) approach was adopted to maximize the revenue minus the penalty costs as objective to evaluate the resource allocation, tolerable delay, and multisession routing algorithm. The primal problem was decomposed into seven independent subproblems through LR procedures, and the combination of a subgradient method and a routing algorithm was used to obtain approximate solutions. A novel algorithm for flow control involving multisession routing is proposed for handling resource allocation. The algorithm involving a near-optimal approach was designed to solve the insufficient resource problem. The solution can be used by operators for improving resource utilization in next-generation wireless networks.
